I’m writing about Gabriel Garcia Marques’s “The handsomest man drowned in the world” is a story that was written in 1968. The story has a particular flavor to it in that, it is the tale of a guy who got himself into difficulty and died in a fishing town. Because of the use of magical realism in this literature, the actual world is changed into something magical or legendary as a consequence of the author’s imagination and thereby serves as an excellent representation of what I’m trying to convey. It is difficult to find information’s about Magical Realism. I found a Article by Alfred Kazin Author: Alfred Kazin Date: Feb. 20, 1972 From: The New York Times Book Review. Beyond Magical Realism: Teaching Creative Thinking Using Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” Donna A. Gessell. My research is going to based on this article.

Hello Marisa, magical realism is an interesting topic. The magical aspect of the handsomest drowned man definitely changed the town and its people. The man opened up a sort of new world for the town and changed their way of life. And I also found it difficult to find a critique source that related to the theme of my essay. After going through several BMCC databases I was able to find some sources I could use for my research.
